Hey, we’re not so screwed after all. We just got our email from the TIFF box office, and we got all our first picks:

• 3 Needles
• These Girls
• Sorry, Haters
• Winter Passing
• Thank You For Smoking

On Friday, the fun begins. It seems so sad to only see five films up there…too bad my course falls right in the middle of the festival. Oh well. C’est la vie MBA.

CBGB were in the same box as us, and they got all theirs as well (three 1sts, two 2nds). They also start off with 3 Needles, and this being their first festival we can introduce them to the world of pre-film lineups, caffeine-addled seat mates and post-film fanboy questions.
